Overview
Quartz glass, Fused quartz, and silica glass are synonyms for glass made from high purity quartz. Quartz Glass is manufactured by melting naturally occurring high purity quartz sand at approximately 2000 °C, using either an electrically heated furnace (electrically fused) or a gas/oxygen-fueled furnace (flame fused). Fused quartz is normally transparent.Quartz glass is a kind of special glass composed of a single component of silica. According to its purity, it can be divided into high-purity quartz glass, ordinary quartz glass and doped quartz glass, three categories. According to transparency, it is divided into transparent and opaque, two categories; because of a series of excellent characteristics such as high purity, excellent performance for light penetration, high temperature resistance capability, thermal shock resistance, stable chemical property and resistance to radiation as well as electrical insulation, it is known as the "king of glass"; it can be made of tubes, rods, plates, blocks and fibers, can be processed into various shapes of equipment containers, can also be cut, polished, polished into prisms, lenses and other optical components. Being mixed with a small amount of impurities can be made of new varieties of special properties such as ultra-low temperature expansion, fluorescent quartz glass, etc.; thus widely used in semiconductor, new light source, optical, instrumentation, thermal, metallurgical, chemical and building materials industry and laser technology, space technology, astronomy, nuclear engineering, optical communication and other high-tech fields.

Preparation
(1) Chemical Vapor Deposition method (CVD)The silicon tetrachloride liquid is brought into the burner by the gas bubbling method, then the high temperature flame is produced by the combustion of the hydrogen-oxygen gas to hydrolyze and melt the gaseous silicon tetrachloride. After the reaction, the silicon dioxide is deposited on the substrate on. CVD deposition device can be divided into two kinds, horizontal and vertical according to the structure. In contrast, the base rod applied vertical layout inside the vertical deposition device, generating a higher deposition rate, being able to prepare large-size quartz glass.
The reaction is as follows:
SiCl4 (gas) + 2H2 + O2 (gas) → SiO2 ↓ + 4HCl ↑
Quartz glass synthesized by CVD method has low metal impurity content, and its performance is better than that of fused silica glass, such as high deep ultraviolet transmittance, high optical uniformity and excellent radiation resistance, which can meet the needs of some high-tech fields. However, the quartz glass prepared by the CVD method has a serious drawback: since the preparation process is always in a hydrogen excess atmosphere, the content of hydroxyl groups in the prepared quartz glass is high. The researchers generally believe that the hydroxyl group led to that infrared absorption spectrum of quartz glass has a strong absorption peak at 2.73 μm, and the presence of hydroxyl groups can also lead to lower density of quartz glass, thereby reducing its mechanical properties and thermal properties.
(2) High-frequency plasma flame method
The most relevant part to the synthesis process is the plasma torch part in the whole deposition device. The torch is four-tube (shown in Fig. 3): the innermost quartz glass tube is used for conveying raw material gas, the second quartz glass tube is used for conveying oxygen, The third layer of quartz glass tube is used for conveying the working gas, the outermost layer adopts the oxygen-containing gas as the cooling gas, and the high-frequency coil surrounds the outermost quartz glass tube to excite the plasma; the raw material gas transported by the inner tube, after being mixed with the oxygen transported by the second layer, enters into the plasma area for reaction, and then generate quartz glass particles to be deposited on the base for completing the process of vitrification and obtaining high-quality hydrogen-free quartz glass ingot or quartz glass mound.

Chemical Properties
Made up of spherical submicroscopic particles under 0.1 micron in size.Chemical Properties
Amorphous silica, the noncrystalline form of SiO2, is a transparent to gray, odorless, amorphous powderOccurrence
This material is known largely as a synthetic material, but there are instances of the material occurring in nature. Vitreous tubes called fulgurites are produced when lightning fuses quartz sand. Large deposits of fulgurite exist in the Libyan desert. Vitreous silica can also be produced by meteor impact. The impact leads to rapid adiabatic heating of the quartz above its melting point. The quartz forms a glass on cooling. Examples of this type of vitreous silica have been found near Canyon Diablo, Arizona, and in meteorite craters in Australia and Arabia.Uses
Suitable for vacuum deposition.Uses
Chemical Applications. Because of its excellent chemical durability, high purity, thermal shock resistance, and usefulness at high temperature, vitreous silica has a wide range of applications in chemical analysis and preparations. Tubing, rods, crucibles, dishes, boats, and other containers and special apparatus are available in both transparent and nontransparent varieties. Because of its inertness, vitreous silica is used as a chromatographic substrate in the form of microparticles, capillary tubing, and open columns for high resolution gas chromatography.Thermal Applications. The protection of precious-metal thermocouples in high temperature pyrometry is an important application of vitreous silica. Although satin tubing is usually employed, transparent tubes are superior for protecting couples when used in a reducing atmosphere.
Optical Applications. Vitreous silica is ideal for many optical applications because of its excellent uv transmission, resistance to radiation darkening, optical polishing properties, and physical and chemical stability. It is used for prisms, lenses, cells, windows, and other optical components where uv transmission is critical. Cuvettes used in scatter and spectrophotometer cells are manufactured from fused silica and fused quartz because of the transmissive properties and high purity.
Mechanical Applications. The volume of vitreous silica used for fibers is a very small part of the total consumption. However, some interesting and significant applications have been developed in the laboratory, particularly in the area of measurements.
Electronic Applications. In electronic systems, such as radar and computers, signal delay is sometimes necessary. A transducer converts electrical signals to ultrasonic elastic waves, which pass through a connecting medium to another transducer, where the waves are reconverted to electrical signals.
Space and Astronomy. Vitreous silica is used in several space-based applications because of static fatigue (slow crack growth), thermal stability, and radiation resistance. Every U.S. space vehicle having service personnel, including Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and space shuttle vehicles, has been equipped with windows made of high optical-quality vitreous silica (Corning Code 7940 or 7980) in order to have the clarity needed for visual, photographic, and television-based observations. The space shuttle utilizes triple-layer windows that have outer and central panes of vitreous silica with a tempered aluminosilicate inner pane. The outer pane is thinner for thermal endurance, whereas the two inner panes are thicker to supply strength.
Uses
Concrete, grouts, mortars, elastomers, refrac- tory and coating applications.Definition
ChEBI: Silicon dioxide is a silicon oxide made up of linear triatomic molecules in which a silicon atom is covalently bonded to two oxygens.Production Methods
Modern manufacturing processes of vitreous typically involve the fusion or viscous sintering of silica particles; the particles can be derived from sand crystals or are produced through a chemical process, e.g., flame hydrolysis or sol–gel. In one practice of the flame hydrolysis process, the powder is produced and fused into glass a single step, without the isolation of a porous body. Dopant and additive profiles are concentration are then controlled by the deposition conditions. When a process involving a discrete porous silica body as an intermediate is used, subsequent processing steps can be used to control dopant levels and in particular, the hydroxyl level of the final glass. The choice of fabrication method is often dictated by the end-use specifications. Flame hydrolysis or similar chemical techniques that allow for the production of very high purity glass are the methods of choice for optical applications but may be economically wasteful for less demanding applications.Translucent Vitreous Silica. Translucent vitreous silica is produced by fusion of high purity quartz sand crystals. Sand is packed around a graphite rod through which a current is passed. The resistance heating produces a plastic mass that can be blown into molds, drawn into tubing, or shaped by rolling or pressing. Separation from the graphite rod is facilitated by gaseous products formed by interfacial reaction. Because the outside is sandy, the product is known as sand-surface ware. A matte finish is obtained by mechanical buffing. A glazed surface is produced by fusing the outside surface with an electric carbon arc or flame.
Transparent Vitreous Silica. Clear, transparent, bubble-free vitreous silica may be obtained by melting natural quartz minerals by flame or plasma vapor deposition (synthetic fused silicas), and by sol–gel processing.

Amorphous fumed silica is used as a mineral, natural or synthetic fiber. A potential danger to those involved in the production and handling of fumed silica for paint pigments or catalysts. Diatomaceous earth is used in clarifying liquids, in manufacture of fire brick and heat insulators; used as a filtering agent; as a filler in construction materials; pesticides, paints, and varnishes. A potential danger to those involved in mining of diatomaceous earth or fabrication of products there from.Purification Methods
Purification of silica for high technology applications uses isopiestic vapour distillation from concentrated volatile acids and is absorbed in high purity water. The impurities remain behind. Preliminary cleaning to remove surface contaminants uses dip etching in HF or a mixture of HCl, H2O2 and deionised water [Phelan & Powell Analyst 109 1299 1984].Incompatibilities
